On very old guns and rimfires, it'll do it quickly, but even if modern guns are designed to tolerate it much more, that's still needless damage.
Some manufacturers say that their rimfires will handle dryfiring, but it's up to you if you want to mar up the edge of your chamber and hope that it's fine, that energy isn't just gonna vanish without effect.
The firing pin is meant to dent and deform the soft metal body of the primer (or rim, on a rimfire), which makes the expendable primer the sacrificial wear part in this event, it getting doinked is cushioning your firing pin.
Without that, you are going to wear out your firing pin faster. Not immediately, but faster. I really think that you should get a couple of good snapcaps if you wanna do a bunch of dryfiring, particularly if it's a gun you rely on or you're fond of.

Do you have any idea how many Krauts, Japs, Gooks, and Towlies have been cut apart with Fiddy Browning? The primary appeal with the thing is that you get long range and it almost ignores light cover and light armor, you can trash a halftrack full of dudes and probably kill most of them by perforating the hell out of it, and you can also hit guys taking cover behind many kinds of urban scenery and heavy vegetation.
Sure, the main idea with it in WW1 and WW2 was for defeating armored vehicles and reaching up into the sky to take down planes, but nobody anywhere said you weren't ever supposed to use it on other things, because it works damn well in all sorts of applications. One of the key reasons they started putting them on trucks and jeeps is because it can be used to defend against all sorts of things you might encounter in a war zone, and it's just a generally great force multiplier.
